Just curious why you would rev it in neutral that high ...

I used to enjoy revving my old one on the drive but I never went that high with the revs I just used to enjoy the rumble.

I only knew my M3 only revved to 7k in neutral from reading about it.

I just sit on my drive making Brumm Brumm noises, saves the fuel!!!

I used to do that too a few years ago...my mates used to rip me to pieces for it!  :-[

Doing it that way though is certainly more cost effective.
